The battalion 71, Ocean 3 on Taek.
00:07
I had Ocean 3.
00:12
Hey,
00:13
good afternoon.
00:14
I was notified of the call you guys were heading to you up at Lion Gold's Trail.
00:18
Just wanted to touch base, see what your plan was and if you needed any assistance from ESS and the Sart team potentially.
00:27
At this point, it just sounds like they're lost, they're not injured, they have food, they have appropriate clothing.
00:33
And we're looking at going in off of 971.1, so coming up above them because they were off of the Irvin Homestead Trail.
00:42
I have three members and a command that are going to be heading up there with a UTV in just a few moments. So at this point we see no need unless something changes.
00:54
Okay, perfect. Yeah, I was looking at that, looks like you might be able to get pretty close with the UTV from up top. Those coordinates in the call notes, do you know if those are pinged from the cell phone?
01:06
That is my understanding, yes.
01:08
They have two cell phones up there,
01:11
so we have voice contact with them at this point, and I believe that was the cell phone ping.
01:19
Okay, sounds good.
01:20
Yeah, I think it's a good plan. I'll continue to monitor. Let me know if you need any additional help up there and we can be on our way.

Copy that, thank you for reaching out.
